There's no doubting the center of NFL universe next winter will be surrounded by cactus and other desert life.

Arizona's University of Phoenix stadium, just an hour's flight from San Diego, will be home to both the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl that follow the 2014 season.

The NFL announced Wednesday that the next Pro Bowl will be Jan. 25th, 2015 at the enclosed, silver edifice.

Super Bowl XLIX will be played there a week later on Sunday, Feb. 1.

The next Pro Bowl will be the third one played in the same city as the year's Super Bowl. The Los Angeles Coliseum hosted the first Super Bowl on January 15, 1967 and the Pro Bowl the following week. South Florida hosted the Pro Bowl in 2010 a week before Super Bowl XLIV.

Hawaii's Aloha Stadium will regain the Pro Bowl following the 2015 season, and the 49ers' stadium in Santa Clara will be site of Super Bowl L the following Sunday.

The NFL has an agreement with Hawaii to play the Pro Bowl at Aloha Stadium following the 2016 season, but final confirmation of the game will come at a later date, the league announced.

Watched by 11.4 million viewers in 2014, the Pro Bowl has been the most-watched all-star game in all of sports the past four years.

Tickets will be available first to Arizona Cardinals season ticket members and annual Pro Bowl season ticket holders. Pro Bowl annual ticket subscribers in Hawaii will maintain their account status for any future games at Aloha Stadium.
